I am Döner inks multi-site franchise deal to expand in UK

It will take the brand to Merseyside and the Isle of Man.

Kebab brand, I am Döner, signed a multi-site franchise deal to expand its footprint to Merseyside and Isle of Man.

Under the deal facilitated by Seeds Consulting, it will partner with Optimum Group to debut its UK franchise, with a first site to open this summer in Liverpool. 

CEO Optimum Group Dave Connor said, “The brand is strong, systemised and led by an experienced management team.”

“This new addition will be a great fit in our brand portfolio of coffee shops and dessert businesses.  We will be opening two I am Döner outlets within the first year and at least ten within five years. We are proud to be the first UK franchise partner,” he added.

“This is the culmination of three years of hard work from the I am Döner team where we have strengthened leadership and focused on taking a fantastic concept and making it run like a systemised well-oiled machine,” I am Döner Chairperson James Hacon said.
